The Blond Ambition Tour was released on laser disc but was never converted to DVD. The only DVD quality tour footage can be found on the documentary Truth or Dare. Some sources say quality footage exists but it was never released. Every now and then, rumours about a possible release re-appear, but after all those years it's becoming ever less likely.

The Lisbon, Portugal show of the Re-Invention Tour was planned to be recorded by Hamish Hamilton for a DVD release. However, due to a dispute between him and Madonna, it is believed that this recording never happened (though other sources claim it did). This explains why the show was never broadcast on TV. There's some footage of the Lisbon show, shot by Christian Lamb, but this was mainly meant for the venue screens and is not sufficient for a DVD release.

Instead, there was the DVD release of the documentary I'm Going To Tell You A Secret, which includes tour footage by Jonas Akerlund, mostly from the show in Paris, France.

So will this show ever be released on DVD? We don't know. Due to the many fan requests, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary said in January 2009 that there are currently no plans to release a DVD, but it will come out "someday". In January 2010, a professional recording of the Lisbon show (most likely the one by Christian Lamb) surfaced online.

Since Live Nation is not a regular record label, Madonna signed a new deal with Interscope (a label under the Universal group) for the distribution of 3 albums (which includes MDNA and Rebel Heart).

With former manager Freddie DeMann she created the label Maverick (co-owned by Warner) and signed artists like Alanis Morissette and The Prodigy. In 2004, Madonna was bought out of Maverick after a Warner lawsuit, which was also a sign for the upcoming split with her label.
